Om denne lydboken
Black Opal Heart
Beneath the wide skies of Australia, where red earth holds secrets older than memory, one woman sets out on a journey that will change her forever.
Elisabeth never knew her father. That unanswered question shadows her childhood until a spark of curiosity leads her across oceans and deep into the outback. From the vibrant streets of Sydney to the quiet resilience of country towns, and finally to Lightning Ridge—the home of black opal—her search for belonging becomes more than a quest for family.
Along the way, love and loss entwine, chance encounters shift the course of her life, and the past refuses to stay buried. At its heart, Black Opal Heart is a story of discovery: of land, of people, and of the fragile, luminous treasures hidden within us all.
Poetic, raw, and deeply moving, this debut novel blends personal history with the vastness of Australia, capturing the beauty and heartbreak of finding out who we really are.
Om forfatteren
Frank Andersen is a Danish storyteller with a lifelong fascination for Australia, its vast landscapes, and the people who call it home. His debut novel, Black Opal Heart, grew out of years of travel, research, and a deep love for stories that bridge cultures, generations, and places.
Drawing on a background in creative writing and a passion for capturing authentic voices, Frank brings to life characters caught between past and future, belonging and longing. His writing combines poetic description with down-to-earth realism, reflecting both the rugged beauty of the Australian outback and the quiet complexities of human relationships.
When he isn’t writing, Frank can often be found exploring new corners of the world, diving into history, or sharing yarns with friends over a cold beer. Black Opal Heart is his first published novel, with more stories already on the horizon.
